Alright number one... what kind of logic are you even trying to use. "My taxes would be lower if I didn't have to pay my taxes!"

Second... if you think the SSI tax should be abolished are you willing to tell millions of retired Americans that they can no longer buy food, pay their electric bills or go to the doctor?

Everyone has the fantasy of being the self-made man that somehow ticks all the boxes and saves for retirement and gets to ride into the sunset at 55 and lives up the next 30 years enjoying retirement but the data shows that Americans have hardly anything saved, for emergencies or retirement. And it's not because they're lazy we work longer hours than any other developed country on earth. Our savings rates are abysmal because pay is stagnant, and things like housing, education, food, and medical costs make it difficult to save for tens of millions of people.

We tried it your way before 1937 and old people largely died in abject poverty. The entire reason why SS was created was because we tried your way from the inception of the country until 1937 and it didn't work.
